Larry,
I did read up some on lapping the Shaptons with a diamond stone. Over at the Craftsman Studio, they talk about using DMT Interuppted stones for flattening and they do NOT recommend it ( http://craftsmanstudio.com.s54421.gridserver.com/blog/?p=31 ).
There are certain kinds they do say it's ok. Whats funny is one of the reasons they say not to do it is that the Shapton is so hard, it can remove the nickel that is used to bind the diamonds to the diamond stone, if I understand it correctly.
They do mention that it is ok to flatten them with 220-320 grit W/D paper on a flat surface, so that's probably what I'll do...

Thanks for the heads up!
